Step 2

Rinse and drain the cucumbers and shallots and wipe out the bowl with a paper towel. Put a third of the mixture in cheesecloth and squeeze to remove all the moisture. (The cucumbers will be slightly bruised.) Return the squeezed mixture back to the bowl. Repeat in batches with the remaining cucumbers and shallots.
